A look at the Charlotte Hornets player movement, projections, and fantasy basketball rankings, including a focus on potentially key fantasy players, such as Nicolas Batum, Dwight Howard, and Kemba Walker.

The Hornets received an upgrade in Dwight Howard, but remain relatively unchanged other than the addition of Monk, who will likely get over-drafted in most public leagues.

We look at the Charlotte Hornets player movement, projections, and fantasy basketball rankings, including a focus on potentially key fantasy players, such as Nicolas Batum, Dwight Howard, and Kemba Walker.

Nicolas Batum (SG/SF)

Kemba Walker (PG)

Kemba is still an eliete option at point guard, just don't expect his assist numbers to rise too much.
